Never on a motorbike (only ever ridden in snow once - I had to, I was moving house, and had to get bike moved, but roads were clear), not man enough for that!

I chose 10-20. As per the thread question, of more recent years, even if it snows for a week, the main roads are normally passable by the second day.

One of the joys of shift work and finishing at silly-o'clock in the morning means that if it snows my entire journey home is on virgin snow. While it can be tense at times, it's comforting to know that no-one else is about to crash in to me, as I rarely see another car on my route home.
Still remember driving in the snow of the late seventies/early eighties, when the snow plough came around our village to clear the roads but then gave up as the snow was so deep. A Metro had been abandoned and buried by the snow drifts and the snow plough went straight through it.  ::) ;D
We don't get snow like that anymore.   :-\

As a driver for a living, I drive in it whenever it snows, both in a car and in a truck. More fun in a truck unless you get stuck :-p

Aye the old 250 superdream done me a good turn for many years in the snow , remembered keeping feet down as stabilizers and keeping in the car snow tracks , did a regular 60 miles a day through bad weather and only fell off once on it in black ice but still got up and carried on with ripped jeans and huge road rash  :D
